AI Developers Are Wasting Time Writing Code When They Should Be Crafting Behaviors

It's time to rethink how we build AI. Writing endless lines of code shouldn't be the only path to creating smart, responsive game characters. Today’s game designers need more—more flexibility, more adaptability, and more creative freedom. So why are so many AI developers stuck in a cycle of churning out code when they could be crafting sophisticated behaviors that truly bring games to life?

At the 2024 Game Developers Conference, the experts at Kythera AI introduced a groundbreaking Componentized Dataflow Framework (CDF) designed to inject design-driven concepts directly into AI behavior systems. With knowledge sharing and industry development as one of our core tenets, we’ve put together a  whitepaper breaking down the framework and sharing a guide on how studios can implement it to:

• Drastically reduce your production costs,
• Empower your design team, and
• Democratize the development process.

Modularize Your Tools: The Componentized Dataflow Framework (CDF)

What if you could describe AI behaviors in terms of queries about the game world, without needing to dive into the nitty-gritty of programming? CDF makes this possible. It’s a simple yet powerful framework that allows designers to craft AI behaviors that are not only more efficient but also easier to maintain and update. With CDF, you’re not just creating smarter AI—you’re building a smarter way to develop games.

This is why you’re running over your development budget

Traditional AI development is slow, costly, and often leaves designers frustrated as they rely on programmers to create AI behaviors before they can bring their visions to life. With CDF, developers create behaviors as reusable modular components, allowing designers to quickly iterate and refine their AI systems, and have access to core building blocks so they can work more efficiently and autonomously.

Componentized Dataflow Frameworks enables studios to:

Reduce Production Costs and Time

By streamlining the AI development process, CDF slashes the time and cost it takes to create sophisticated behaviors.

Empower Designers

Give your design team the tools they need to create and iterate AI behaviors without waiting on programmers.

Democratize Development

CDF makes the development process more accessible and collaborative, bringing designers and programmers together like never before.

Boost Efficiency

Enjoy faster iteration cycles, better AI decision-making, and a more intuitive design process.
